What They Taught Us
$20.00
WhatMaryknoll missioners have learned from the rich gifts of the people of God around the world.
For years, according to Fr. JohnWalsh,Maryknoll missioners have gone out”armed with seminary notes and skills and oozing righteousness, prepared to give but not to receive, to teach but not to learn.”And most found out, often to their great chagrin, that”mission was a two-way street.”Mission means carrying the good news of the Gospel to the four corners of the world but it also means taking on wisdom and knowledge from the people-about building a waterproof hut, about indigenous plants that heal, about patience, and about living life fully in God’s created world.
Maryknoll missioners from Asia, Africa, and Latin America tell of what they learned from these people of deep faith and strength. Arranged thematically, the stories tell of spiritual health in the face of physical illness, of true happiness lived in poverty, and of life and death and hope and love.

Simply Jesus : A New Vision Of Who He Was What He Did And Why He Matters
$15.99In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis’s popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God, Wright’s Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how Christians should relate to him today.
